Every piece of steel on this thing is riveted and it really felt like time travel. went down in the galley and machine shop on board and just took a good tour of it and the guy's running it telling me about the shadows they see on board and noises at night in the bunk house, Im thinking to myself that this thing is only 15 years older than the titanic and its been working hard all these years. to duplicate this thing today would be 15 million plus ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" Replies: Posted By: jbear Date Posted: April-25-2008 at 1:44am Must be fun...getting to go on some of the boats you do...beats staying in the shop in brunstucky. john ------------- "Loud pipes save lives" AdamT sez "I'm Canadian and a beaver lover myself"...
